Zhou Zhiqing really didn't want to escape, not because she was afraid of Yan Zhenrui's might, but because she hadn't thought about what to do now. The road ahead seems to be a long one, but in fact, the length is just a thought.

Her heart is like water now, although she is only eighteen years old, she can be regarded as careless, just in response to the sentence that there is no love in life, and there is no sorrow in death.

She doesn't have any lofty ambitions, she used to just eat, drink and have fun, and she asked for the word "comfortable", but now the child is the son of the world, and it will be fine without her, but she can calm down and think about herself.

She and Yan Zhenrui will not be like any more.

She asked herself, is this all the way in this life? Maybe she will live to be fifty, maybe she will live to be seventy, and she will live in this abandoned garden for the next few decades, if nothing else.

She can ignore honor and disgrace, but people do it, not just for a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink, living in a bad alley, without ambition, that is just a flower child who eats all day long.

Leaving the abandoned garden means that she will choose another life.

She asked herself, is she still thinking about remarrying?

This question stunned Zhou Zhiqing herself, and then smiled again, she looked up at the sky, and just sighed lightly.

With Qiao's steward taking care of her openly and secretly, Zhou Zhiqing is not worried about food and clothing. Steward Qiao thought about it, Zhou Zhiqing alone could not starve to death, but it was just frustration in vain, since he wanted to be a good person, he should do it thoroughly.

Therefore, he allocated a mother-in-law to the waste garden to take care of Zhou Zhiqing's diet.

This woman is not very shrewd. The only good thing is to be honest, she has received the favor of Qiao's steward, so naturally he will do whatever he tells her, saying that he is in charge of cooking three meals a day, so he will bury his head in doing it, and she will not look at it much or talk much about what Zhou Zhiqing does.

Sometimes Zhou Zhiqing tried to get out of the abandoned garden, but she just didn't see it and ignored it completely.

Zhou Zhiqing was not idle. It took a few days to walk through the abandoned garden. Thinking that relying on Qiao's relief alone is not reliable at all. That is, it is autumn now, and it is about to enter winter, otherwise she would have to plant some side vegetables, crops and so on.

What about autumn and winter? Which families in the capital do not have greenhouses.

Do it when you think of it, while Qiao is in charge of everything in the stage of responding to requests. Zhou Zhiqing said that he wanted to get a warm shed. Steward Joe is now talkative. Not necessarily in the future. If you don't take advantage of this time, you won't be able to count on it in the future.

She said that she wanted to plant flowers, and Qiao was in charge of everything. He also saw through it. This former concubine is a big heart, but it's better than a small heart, right? In case she can't think of wiping her neck, she will still eat and hang up by herself when she turns around.

Therefore, a few people were specially called, and it took five days to renovate, and finally built a warm shed for Zhou Zhiqing.

Zhou Zhiqing spent most of his time in the greenhouse, planting a bunch of leeks, a bunch of cabbage, and a bunch of greens.

At the end of the year, her leeks grew very well, and even Xianzhi was full of envy when she saw it: "During the Chinese New Year, the girl can eat leek stuffed dumplings, with shrimp skin, or three fresh, but it is much more fragrant than cabbage." ”

Zhou Zhiqing lost her initial decadence, her complexion improved slightly, and her body slowly recovered, she said generously: "Then I'll send you a bundle of leeks." ”

Xianzhi waved his hand: "Forget it, girl, the slave is just a slave, what kind of slave and maid eat in the house, how dare you open a small stove." ”

Zhou Zhiqing just smiled and said, "Then I'll leave some for you and eat when you come." ”

Xianzhi was very happy and said, "That slave is blessed." ”

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the month.

Steward Qiao did not treat Zhou Zhiqing badly, and asked someone to send winter clothes. There was a plum blossom in the abandoned garden that was blooming just right, and Zhou Zhiqing stepped on the snow and looked up under the plum blossoms.

I don't know how long I stayed before I heard Ai Ai say: "Zhou, Miss Tuesday, is it you?" ”

Zhou Zhiqing was stunned.

She hadn't heard anyone call her Miss Tuesday for a long time, and when she looked back, she saw a young man sitting on a stump, an ordinary gray cloth robe, the most shabby dress in the house, and he looked very good-eyed, but his eyes were full of timidity.

Zhou Zhiqing lost her voice: "Han Gongzi? How did you end up here? ”

Isn't this person Han Qu who was teasing her back then?

The two are also known to each other, and when they meet in different places, they are somewhat unusually close.

Han Qu's excitement and emotion were even more, and he simply explained his experience: "Funded by Miss Tuesday, I have been in the capital for a year, but I failed in the imperial examination, and I also rested on the idea of taking the exam again next year, and it happened that there was a shortage of famous painters in the prince's mansion, so I followed." Miss Tuesday, you ......"

It was rumored that she followed the banquet prince, and everyone in this house knew that the concubine's surname was Zhou, and he was glad that this Miss Tuesday would no longer harass him, and he was also comforted that she had a happy home.

But who would have thought that her life would be up and down to this point. I didn't think it was until I really saw her that I realized her pity more and more.

Zhou Zhiqing didn't care at all, and made a joke of herself: "Back then, I had the reputation of abandoning from the beginning to the end, and now I am also treated like this, which can be regarded as retribution." He grinned and said, "This time you are relieved and relieved." ”

Han Qu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I, I was also young and vigorous back then, and I had a lot of misunderstandings about Miss Tuesday, in fact, I already knew later that those false names were just false rumors by idlers in the market, and they couldn't be true." ”

Both of them had the same ambition not to mention these things, and Zhou Zhiqing saw that he took the drawing paper and drawing board, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Han Qu said with some embarrassment: "The prince wants a picture of Hanmei, and I am always not satisfied with a few paintings, so I came here to take a look." He pointed from afar and said: "There is a corner door, out of the corner door, not far away is where I live, few people come here, the corner door is only guarded by a mother-in-law, she is lazy in winter, loves to drink two sips of wine, holding the stove to keep warm, I often give her a pot of wine, she will open one eye and close one eye to let me in." ”

Zhou Zhiqing couldn't help but make fun of him: "I usually only say that you are a nerd, I don't want a few years to pass, and you will also make Xiao Duan scheming." ”

Han Qu's face was a little red, and he said embarrassedly: "I told you to see the joke, it was because I only blindly read the sages back then, and I lacked too much in the world. ”

Zhou Zhiqing said with some hatred: "How old are you this year?" It's just a failure in the imperial examination, why are you so discouraged? Some people have been taking the exam for half their lives, but they haven't given up. ”

Han Qu said in a low voice: "It's not for anything else, even if you want to take a scientific examination, you have to settle down first, I have nothing to do, and it is not a long-term solution to write letters and paint for people by setting up stalls in the capital all day long, I always have to find some livelihood, I don't expect to support my family, but I always have to eat three meals a day to continue." ”

Zhou Zhiqing laughed: "You are much more knowledgeable than before, it is because I am too talkative, do you understand the reason." (To be continued......)
